Land n bling

Commissioner Sparks has shut
down on one more system of land
grabbing. He has decided that no
one person can make more than
one homestead entry. 1t has heen
the practice of certain professional
homstea ders to enter one claim, sell
the land and then enter another,
carr, ing on the business with con-
siderable profit. Judge Blair Of
Wyoming is reported to have de-
eided that a man can make as many
entries as he pleases, SO that he is
net the owner of the FIRST homestead
when he enters claim for the Sec
ond, but Commissioners Sparks says
no such delusion will be needed by
the Land Office.

Farnum-s Return .

Captain Farnum went to San
Francisco recently with requisi-
ton from Governor Stevenson upon
the Governor of California and
warrant of arrest for L. B. Frankel,
Jacob Frankel and Lewis Frankel,
The two latter could not be found
They have undoubtedly placed the
briny expanse between themselves
aud justice. L. B. Frankel was
seen by the Captain Saturday, but
he was not arrested. Why, we
don't know OF course the act
would precipitate evidence in
the case in habeas corpus proceed
ure, and that may be the reason;
but why was not the warrant served
so long as it was issued? What
was it issued for? We don't be-
lieve the creditors of the Frank els
care much for the two young men.
1t is the old L. B. Frankel they
want. He carries the sack. He is
the party who is most blamed for
the failure. It. is claimed he did
so to sustain Greenbaum & Straus.
of which firm he is a member, as
well as the leader in the Virginia
firm of L. B. Frankel & Co.
1t is positive that without the
name Of L. B. Frankel attached to
the firm, it could never have gotten
the custom and patronage it did +.
He was reputed wealthy and con-
nectea with firm in San Francis
co that had a good name.
A criminal action in this matter
without l.. B Frankel principal
defendant looks TO US like hanging
the horse instead of the man who
eoaxed it out of the pasture with
a lasso round it's neck -Footlight

THE CARSON HINT.
| Reasons why COmstock Bullion
is not Depesited There.

| Reasons why COmstock Bullion
is not Deposited There.
A reporter Of the Reno Gazette
called at the Carson Mint, inquired
as to its success in gathering bull
lion and was informed that in the
two months that it has been open
as an assay Office, it has only re-
ceived silver enough to run few
hours as a Mint. There is now in
the vault S33, 10 in gold and 20
319 ounces of silver. The depart
ment allows Superintendent Gar
rard to pay 10l for silver but it
must be paid in fiue silver bars
while he can pay out gold coin for
gold bullion. He has permission to
buy $4,000 ounces of silver but he
does not seem likely to reach that
limit ip long while The rates fer
treating bullion are the same as at
other Minis, but there seems to be
a comb nation of circumstances
which works against Carson and
causes all of the bullion of the
Comstoek to be carried by her Mint
to San Francisco. One thing is.
the express charges amount to
about $4,000 month and tie com
pany hates to give that up. They
therefore charge as much from Vir-
GINA to Carson as TO San Francisco,
and as much from Carson to San
francisco as from Virginia. Mack
avs mines ship bullion to San
Francisco and there get money
from the water company. Mallon,
Ford, and other merchants to pay
their wages and bills, giving checks
on San Francisco, so they don't
have to ship money up. Another
reason why they do not stop, is be-
cause it is an object for the Nevada
Bank and the Bank of California
to handle the bullion. 1t is not
necessary to coin it either. because
it is all going to China now and
fine bars are worth more than dol
lars. The probabilities are, there
fore, that the Mint will soon be
closed forever and the building
sold or used for some ether purpose
The statement made about the
express charges is an error. They
do not charge the same from Vir-
GINA City to Carson as to San
Francisco but nuch less. The
fault lies with the Democratic Ad
ministration.

Senator John Sherman is as het
as pepper over the story that he
laid down aces and, to Senator
Bowens three pair in a poker
game. He says be knows nothing
about poker and never played it,
but if he did he would never let
his opponent get away with pot
on a foul hand. The question
arises, how did Uncle John come to
know that three pairs was foul
hand.
The New York Times, one or
the most uncomrromising enemies
of the silver coinage, admits that
the Government now owns more
gold than it has had at any time,
with one exception, since the re-
sumption of'specie payments. and
that the stock Of silver dollars is
falling off In spite of the continu-
ance of the coinage. One would
think that the constant necessity

The Interstate commerce bill is
giving everybody a heap of concern.
The principal trouble seems to be to
get at the true inwardness of the bill.
1t is little too deep for mortal man
to wade through and we are inclined
to join the ranks of those who give it
up. So far as we are able to see into
the working of the bill we fail to see
wherein the producer is to be benefit
ted. The main object in the framing
of the bill seems to have been to pre-
vent the big railroad fish from swal-
lowing the little ones. If we mistake
not the law will prove u bonanza to
such roads as the Manitoba-Litch-
field News Ledger.

Last Saturdays Minneapolis
Tribune published about two and q
half columns concerning Stevens
county and Morris its county seat
We quote as follows:
A few facts and little reliable in
formation regarding Stevens county
and Morris the attractive, enterprise
ing and progressive county seat-will
be ofyalue to those who will this
spring be looking for a desirable place
for business or good farm in Mime
sofa. Agriculturally Stevens county
is one of the most inviting sections
of the state, 145 miles from Minneapo-
lis, and contains s55, $3.50 acres of the
choicest land and large number OF
lakes, with surface of 10,412 acres,
making total of 3o5, 74s acres. The
Pomme de Terre river runs through
the county from the northeast corner
to the southwest. This river as well
as the lakes wit thin it's borders. abound
with a great variety of fish; and on
this river are several mill sites, only
two ofwhich are utilized. The lakes
and river have generally gravelly
bottoms and solid shores, the water
is pure and deep.
Il is u fine stock country, having at
present the largest amount of fine
stock of any county of the same size
in the state, while the yield OF cereals
is Unprecedented. It is emphatically
O prairie country; almost every acre
Oft can be cultivated without the
superhuman laror Of clearing, neces-
sary in q timber country.
Morris Is local point of the trade
Of this magnificent county, and here
q most entsrprising and intelligent
class Of people have located and are
content in the pursuit of all branches
ofbusiness. The city has five church
organizations, each with comely edi-
fice and active membership. The
school houses, residences, stores,
banks, county buildings are all credi-
